Apostolic Power – March 10, 2015

Why do Apostolics have power with God?

We have power because we do those things which the New Testament says will bring Christians power.

Holy Ghost – At the end of Jesus’ ministry, He instructed His Apostles to go to Jerusalem and receive the “power from on high,” the Holy Ghost. In Acts 1:8 – Jesus explained to His Apostles, just prior to His ascension to heaven: “… ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Peter also explained to those who were present and watching the 120 receiving the Holy Ghost, that the outpouring of the Holy Ghost was the fulfillment of Joel 2:28-31 where God said He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in the last days.

Jesus was introduced by John the Baptist this way: “I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
